DJT is ass, Cotton is ass, DST is ass (use Standard time), fuck everyone involved
I don't care which one it is. Just pick one and save the poor clock arms from abnormal forced movement. This is machine abuse.
I concur.
Standard time year round is my idea of hell. I would rather keep the time change.
Standard time is better for your health though
Time is a human construct. It doesn’t matter what time it is.
Also, if that mattered then people wouldn’t say “but work starts at 8:00” when I suggest starting later in the winter…
Morning sun specially is better for you. https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2025/09/daylight-saving-time.html
Which is why I would want to start later than 8:00…
Why do you want to move the number around when you can move the schedule if that's important to you
You clearly didn’t read the part where I was told “but work starts at 8:00”.
ok so next time tell them it starts at 10. then widdle them down to a 9 am compromise.
That’s not how any of this works…
It's called a union
You can’t join a union when you work for the state.
Skill issue, you can in my country
What a fucking shithead thing to say. Where I was born is not a skill issue.
Then fix that. Don't mess with the clock.
You are being obstinate and not really contributing to the conversation at this point.
You're the one who want the clock to be permanently wrong (off from solar noon) just to keep the number unchanged on your schedule, that's pretty crazy. You can just have the clock be correct and change your schedule.
"that's not how it works" yeah I know you've abandoned the idea of negotiating with employers dude, that's your problem not mine
Noon at solar noon is crazy. As I moved to a place where it is further from solar noon, I got even more sure about that
That just means your circadian rhythm and your schedule are crazy. The clock matching the sun is simply correct. You just need to relearn what numbers goes with what degree of daylight.
If I were waking up on sunrise, that would definitely make sense
Why does it matter so much what the number is on the clock then that you want the clock to be permanently offset instead of accurate? We can have the clock be simple and make sense and let some people adjust once to the number having changed. You'll be doing the same things at the same solar time anyway, now with a correct clock attached.
In the practical sense it matters because solar noon is at different time in the same place, but that difference is about 20 minutes, not that much. And it's different in different places, too, that means it's going to require a lot more time zones depending on how precise you want to be.
Well, I do have a joke post about that over at bluesky

Trump is an ass, and this is absolutely not how thing should be done. But here we are.
So if I have to go through this shitshow, I can at least laugh my ass off that he's doing this to Cotton who's been one of his supporters. That's what he gets.
Wouldn't it be better to stick with standard and not DST?
We should move all time forward 6 hours and adopt Trump Saving Time, TST.
we got rid of it in the past and a surprising amount of people wanted it back immediately, ALLEGEDLY it curbs seasonal depression to a degree people can notice (apparently this may be a myth). but it also effects a hand full of industries it would cost some millions in terms of the economy, of course Trump gives zero shits about that he just cares if the chaos is either paid for in advance or something he can profit from, but there are reasons to keep daylight savings.
IIRC most Americans prefer daylight savings time to be year round over standard time.
This is the best thing that Trump has done while in office, sad that our bar is so low.
Senator Cotton grow a pair and post Trump's number. DO IT
Honestly, I don't fucking care. I could swear there was already a vote to do this years ago. If this guy is holding it up for God knows what reason, that's fucking stupid. Not as stupid as getting on the lolita express and going to Jeff's island and fucking kids, but it's stupid nonetheless. Genuinely don't care that the pedo did this so we wouldn't talk about how he fucks kids.
Did Trump post his personal number (really effing stupid), or just his work number, which is fine?
Trump has done this before. I wouldn't be surprised if Republican politicians buy a burner phone just to give the number to Trump, so that if Trump blabs it like this it doesn't swamp the numbers they actually use to get shit done
IDK which it was but I texted the number and asked senator cotton to address the bill.
IDGAF anymore. Repubs don't do shit so they need a little extra prodding.
Next step, thousands of people should show up at his house on a sunday afternoon during the football game to ask for progress on that bill.
DST is a pain. All that aside, is it legal to list a phone number other than your own for all to see?
Well, there used to be a thing called a phone book. However certain people such as politicians and celebrities would have their private numbers unlisted and it would have been considered very improper to dox them.
It's legal when a Republican President does it.
Super duper secret illegal when it's a Democrat.
It was President Nixon who last tried to eliminate the spring-forward/fall-back. Now the regime is trying to rehab Nixon's rep.
Is this a meaningful coincidence? A stupid coincidence? Both?
I saw a bunch of clips today of MAGA repubs calling Watergate a hoax and blaming the deep state lol. JD Vance just said recently that if Watergate happened today, it would be a 12 hour story and disappear. I think that's a silent admission of knowing how many crimes his administration is committing every day.
Nixon also tried to pass a guaranteed basic income. This is a coincidence.
Can’t golf if it’s dark.
He could always open a golf course on the bright side of the Moon and leave us all the fuck alone... just a thought.
Tom Cotton has a REALLY FUNNY tit for tat response if he wants one...
Imagine getting doxxed by the freaking president of the United States
I'd have an answer to "one fun fact about you" for the rest of my life
So is this that moment when he rises to the occasion and finally becomes presidential?
I love it when they turn on each other. Let's encourage lots of that: "You gonna let him say that about you? I wouldn't, but I'm not a pussy."
Daylight savings time is a failed experiment. Permanent daylight savings has been tried and was quickly repealed. Sending children to school in the dark is stupid.
broken clock is right twice a year
My favorite variant of that is 'A misprinted calendar is right once a year.'
I don't think that works. Calendar misprints would make every day wrong, or every day after the misprint wrong. I think the only way it would work is if the misprint was that every day was random and one happened to be correct.
